Topic Models
In the EU journalistic field, a high prevalence of issues around
GMOs, health, and consumer labeling in the late 1990s has given
way to more abstract and distant phenomena, such as
deforestation in producing regions and climate change since the
mid-2000s. This has been accompanied with a broader
perspective of different stake-holders, but also with a strong
regional focus on the Amazon biome. Less attention has been
directed at immediate concerns for local communities, such as
land conflicts or disputes over intellectual property rights, which
are more prevalent in the advocacy field or the journalistic fields
in Brazil and Argentina
